[that sure isn't the word he was imagining]

Is it troublesome? [though he feels like he's asking a dumb question]

[precedented]

All powers come with inherent troubles. That is always the case with power. It must possess a fatal flaw. Mine does as well.

[ Sort of. His flaws are hard to find. ] But prescience is unnecessary. It only seeks to convolute and confuse. It never helps.

[beathach]

It . . . doesn't seem like it would, no. In most cases.

[precedented]

In all cases.

[beathach]

[he tilts his head, but he nods his agreement] Right.

[and he doesn't mean to backtrack, but . . . ]

You mentioned this "Aather" you were from . . . what was it like?

[precedented]

[ He hums lightly. ]

Similar but different. We were fighting the Darkness with the help of the Personae. We helped finished their stories and restored the world.

[beathach]

That's - very different from what I came from, yeah. [it's fascinating, how these worlds with similar set-ups all differ beyond that] But you were all on teams? And - uh, had your memories taken away?

[precedented]

We were. Though if we regained our memories, we were invited to stay on should we choose to. Some did, others left.

[beathach]

I see . . . we weren't - given that option. As soon as we completed our mirrors, we were given a party and sent back home.

[precedented]

What a charming send off.

[beathach]

Charming is a word for it. [it just was to him. He wasn't even there for a good chunk of it] I wouldn't have stayed if I was invited to, but . . . it would have been nice to have an option to return briefly or - speak to people still there, every now and then.

[precedented]

Do you not have that option?

[beathach]

Not yet. [because of course Hank is looking for a way. He'll always look] But as of right now, no.

[precedented]

Hmm. Curious.

[ It's always interesting what allowances the powers that be make. ]

[beathach]

That's one word for it.

[precedented]

Yes, I imagine your words might be decidedly less polite about the situation.

[beathach]

I was going to say "annoying", but - mm, I can think of a few less polite terms.

[precedented]

I thought you might.

[ He rolls his shoulders, the wormskin rippling. ]

[beathach]

Mm, but it's only a temporary annoyance.

[precedented]

All annoyances do tend to be temporary. If we let them become permanent, they will never leave.

[beathach]

That's a good way to put it, mm.

[precedented]

I'm very profound.

[beathach]

Heh, so I've noticed.

But - I'll leave you to your - exercises? I should eat something before I end up forgetting again.

[precedented]

Is that something you do often?

[beathach]

I have a habit of getting caught up in whatever I'm working on.

[so, yes]
